What to do in Africa

As a tourist destination, Africa is a wealth of natural attractions. It is home to wild, almost unspoilt landscapes, from dry and rocky lands, to golden sand dunes and lush forests, enchanting beaches and savannahs, and plenty of wildlife you won’t find anywhere else. Your adventure already begins when you’re deciding where to go. And your greatest challenge is making sure you bring enough battery and storage to take as any photos as you want.
